Ringo does the most difficult thing with his drumming. I am now retired but I had a 40 year career as a drummer and I will tell you that is isn't about that you can play it is about what you do play. Paul's bass lines aren't difficult to copy perfectly either. Rather simple genius. Same with Ringo's drumming.
Being from the U.S. the next album released was “Magical Mystery Tour.” As interested as I am to hear him get to the White Album I’d hate for him to skip MMT.
One thing I always wondered was how much this record helped young people learning English as a foreign language around the world, especially as the lyrics from SPLHCB were printed on the back of the sleeve, apparently a novel feature then. I taught English to foreign students in the 80s and 90s and sometimes used pop song lyrics as a teaching aid, explaining them, and then getting the class to sing the song alongside the music - 'When I'm 64' and 'She's leaving home' being favourites. I was often surprised by how many teenagers from all over Europe already knew the English words to them!
"This must have thrown people off." That's an understatement! The entire reality of Sgt. Pepper - the look, the concept, the songwriting, the instrumentation, the production - *everything* about it was groundbreaking. And you better believe, yes, it absolutely did throw people off. (I was 13 years old in 1967, and after hearing this album I was never the same.)
It is interesting and somewhat amusing listening to the younger generations interpret songs those of my age, I am 75, have known from their inception. I hitch hiked 12 miles beginning at 6:30 in the morning to be at the record shop when they opened to get this album on the day of its release. Hitched back home and spent the rest of the day listening to it. . These takes are hilarious.
Anybody who who tries to argue Ringo isn't a great drummer, change the subject, or just walk away They have no clue what they're talking about with regard to music Get away from me boy, you bother me
Not saying he’s bad. His style rarely takes the stage and almost always works as a contribution to the song. He’s not the most technical or anything that would stand out. Just another piece in the puzzle
@@tamerail he is regarded as one of the best drummers in the world Google the top ten drum solos of all time. The Beatles "The End" will be in the top five in almost every list you check
This is a band that really figured they could do anything and did it. There was no corporate pressure, artistically and that shows. Paul had the idea to go into an alter ego trip. Great idea but if the product is bad, then no one would talk about it today.
If you are going to listen to Abbey Road please do NOT interrupt Side B, it is a medley from Because to The End, all tracks are basically one long track
The best album they put out was 'Abby Road'...hands down. A day in the life. (The story) John Lennon was working on a song & didn't know what to do with it. Meanwhile Paul McCartney was working on a song of his own but was struggling to finish it. Producer George Marting thought they should fuse the 2 songs together...The rest is history. 57:42 John Lennon added that weird sound to annoy your dogs in the room. He thought it would be funny. Just John being a wise A..
Used to be you had to find a friend or friend of a friend and trap them in the backseat to get their reaction to listening to this album the first time. Now we can just go on here. Great reaction to a great album.
The last note on the piano is called the "heaven note." It is directly in the middle of the register. They did not know it was called the heaven note when they did it.
I really enjoyed watching your reaction, especially your amazement at the diversity of instruments used. Going into the backstory of some of the songs really does help to understand them! This is one of my all time favourite albums and i love seeing people feeling similar about it
And in terms of this album being a concept album: i recommend watching James Gargreaves Guitars' Video: the true story behind Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts club Band (i think that is the title) It goes into heavy detail and has some interesting points and theories
That chord crash at the end marks a point where the world subtly changed. It was almost like the loss of innocence, we could no longer be the children we once were. This album carried a lot of weight - and it all pounds down in a single exclamation point. Don't worry about that odd little bit at the end. It was on the inner track of the vinyl - if the record player didn't lift the needle up, you had to hear that thing repeat 33 1/3 times a minute. Until you got up off your lazy stoned, dazed butt and made it stop.
I enjoyed your reaction, insight and review. I’ve been listening to it since it it was released and I am still learning and imagining new things about the album.
I really appreciated your reaction! Pretty brilliant and energetic! But I want to post here the real explanation John Lennon gave about Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds: "According to Lennon, the song's origins lie in a drawing his 3-year old son Julian had created and brought home from school. The drawing was of his friend Lucy O'Donnell who was floating in the sky surrounded by sparkling jewels and diamonds". He was defending himself from critics that assumed the title came from LSD.
It appears the self proclaimed reviewers back then liked to point to drugs every time when it came to the Beatles. But I think it’s quite funny how some of the songs are only based on posters, paintings or drawings. I remember Paul McCartney talking about the time he was in a hospital waiting for his child to be born when he saw a Picasso on the wall which depicted a guitarist using an unique chord (with two fingers only). Based on that he went and created the structure and chord progression for an entire song only using 2 fingers. Whistling a melody on top. In the end that melody made it onto one of Kanye’s songs which is how I’ve got to know of it.
@@brilliantsuper_1515 I can guarantee you you will dislike it because it is VERY far from the snippet Paul sent over. The one I’m mentioning is All Day - at 4:17 seconds into the song you’ll hear the original guitar play and whistle by McCartney. The rest of the song however is incredibly aggressive. They have 2 other songs together. Which are way more suitable for somebody who enjoys the Beatles. Most famously FourFiveSeconds with Rihanna. And Only One (I prefer) since it’s a calm heartfelt song about Kanye’s mother in heaven talking to him. Both had lost their mothers at a young age so they could relate to one another very well on that topic. They had worked on an entire collab album which never released and those 3 songs are everything we have left. Paul did say though that working with Kanye was the closest he has ever gotten to working with Lennon again. Bouncing musical ideas from one end to another and just trying things out.
@@tamerail ive been a fan of ye and the beatles for years i was just wondering which song had the paul snippet because i didnt remember, thanks for mentioning "Only One" because i hadnt heard that yet and its a really solid song. wouldve loved to hear that collab album though
Ringo didn't particularly like Sgt. Pepper's. His least favorite album, so he didn't really participate and didn't try to surprise with anything, he just did his job
The very end is a loop, to stop it you had to pick the arm of the record player up. People played it backwards to see if there was a hidden message I agree the last song is like back in real life. Yet like the other songs it also mixes everyday reality (the hum drum part with McCartney here) and the escape from that with the dreamy section. I feel the album goes between those extremes, seeking escape or enlightenment. The songs have a cast of various characters. Apart from the Harrison track It feels very British themed. It was the first popular music album that had the lyrics printed on the cover or sleeve. This was an alter ego group. They had finished touring finding it less enjoyable and retreated to the studio. This gave them more freedom to experiment.
Very enjoyable. If I had to choose one piece of music from the 2nd half of the 20th century it would be A Day In The Life, no doubt about it, I love watching people's brows furrow as they listen to it the first time, it induces a very visceral reaction, it's a bit more than mere music. The video is worth a look at too, the recording of the orchestra was turned into a 'Happening', a 1960's hippy cultural event and many of the 'beautiful people' were there. "I read the news today, oh boy..." is a sentiment which has only grown over the past 60 years as the news has constantly become more oh boy...
Ringo is an amazing drummer! Most rock drummers think so! He never made it about himself… it was always about what was best for the song! He wasn’t a showboat… he didn’t compete for attention. And you will see, the more you dive into this band, some of his drumming is very unique. By the way, John was abandoned by both his mother and father, as a child. His father showed up once he became famous. He found out when he was a young teen that his mother lived only a few blocks from where he lived! He had a big chip on his shoulder. But he became a great musician, so he finally had an outlet for his feelings! He got better, as a man. So maybe we forgive him for his bad behavior. He hung out with his mum for a few years. She introduced him to guitar. Then she was tragically killed, hit be a motorcycle while crossing the street. Both he and Paul lost their mums in their teens… and they became the biggest songwriting team of the 20th century!
Rumour at the time was that the thing at the end was the suggestion that you "push it round the other way," meaning tht you turn the turntable in the wrong direction. The words then seem to be saying, "We shall fuck you lest you do." there were variations but that's what I heard.
Insanity and Genius have the same thinking process; it's just what society categorizes it as based on its impact. That's why the idea of "smart", "stupid", "average" is based on nothing but societal convenience. We expect people to be "something" when every human is something of their own.
The Final Track: The original vinyl pressing had what was called "The Inner Groove"; you had to skip the stylus over a hump to play it.. In subsequent pressings it wasn't included on future pressings until 1980 when the track was released on a US Capital Records release called "The Beatles Rarities. Then when SPLHCB was released on CD for the first time they included it. Including 2009 remasters, and 2015 remster/remix.
The last sound on A Day In the Life-where they had John Lennon's (Never Be Any Other Way etc) was in the trail-off on the album and would play continuously until you took the tone arm off the record. The last part was for the "stoner's" who were unable or incapacitated to take the needle off the record thereby continuing their "trip."
Bro, Ringo not technically the most talented, but he made significant contributions to a few hundred of the greatest songs of the rock era. It takes a supremely talented musician to do that. Drummers will tell you.
That bit at the end was a treat for the poorer listeners playing the album on a cheap record player because a good record player will lift the needle automatically before it gets to the inner ring where the loop was recorded.
Interesting and entertaining reaction. I like your approach to making reactions. For your information, you are confusing word "fair" with "circus. Like that you interject research in the middle of the reaction and your spontaneous remarks. Again, very entertaining, entertaining, and unique, not like any other reaction that I've ever heard and seen. Hope you have success.
A day in the life was not a single release. There wasn't one from this album in the 1960s either. It wasn't until 1978, that the three tracks Sgt.Pepper, With a little help... and A day in the life were subsequently released on a single. Many fans later wished, that the Beatles had included Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever on the album, which would have made it even more unique. Joe Cocker made a legendary and very successful cover-version of "With a little help...". In my opionion the best cover of a Beatles track until today. The album is now seen a little more critically, because it has the one or other weakness (e.g. When I'm 64), but it won numerous elections held in 1999, as the greatest pop/rock album of the century. Of course this can be discussed for a long time, but the influence of Sgt.Pepper was huge, as the album challenged all the competition, to improve in terms of production technology and versatility.
I don't think When I'm 64 is weak. It might even be the 4th or 3rd most recognisable song on it. Even in the video he said he'd felt he'd heard it before. Like Yesterday it feels simple and direct.
@@joebloggs396 I probably have to explain a little more what I mean. When I'm 64 isn't bad music, it's more of a strategic weakness on Pepper. The musical break, placing the piece after the excursion into world music of Within you, without you, indeed has a certain fascination. But McCartney has a soft spot for grandparents' music from his parents' house. And he wrote the thing when he was 14 years old. 64, Till there was you, Honey Pie. Do I want to hear this stuff on a rock/pop record? Not necessarily. There would certainly have been alternatives like the experimental Carnival of Light, which was never published, or Strawberry Fields. Another aspect of Pepper is, that Within you, without you and She's leaving home can actually only be described as Beatles songs to a limited extent, as far as the musical implementation is concerned, because apart from Harrison on a few Indian instruments, there is no Beatle active there.
@@braudabo The whole middle part is old timey - Mr Kite Victorian, Within You old Indian style, WI64 jazzy-pop 20s. Strawberry Fields may have fitted as a companion piece to Lucy. But Penny Lane was too much a single style song. Eleanor Rigby could have fitted on too. McCartney was the main force behind the LP, and by part design part serendipity it can work.
@@joebloggs396 Yes, that's right. However, the other tracks with "old timey" elements sound more exotic, exciting and interesting, than the somewhat musty rocking chair-esque When I'm 64. By the way, there is a very nice cover of When I'm 64 by the Austrian Beatles fanatics, the MonaLisa Twins. Also a kind of gem: their cover of Maxwell's Silver Hammer.
@@tamerailomg yes, she is an icon tbh, she goes like for the alternative music but her 2 firsts albums are jazz and house inspired, debut which is her debut album lol, it's an amazing choice, as well, medulla, vespertine were very acclaimed for the critics. Homogenic is the most famous one, it changed music history kinda
Great reaction. Some factual errors, understandably. One or two musical errors that only a musician experienced with that instrument would know. I guess if enough people say Ringo is not a great drummer, many will believe it. I think he is one of the GOATs. His contribution to the band's initial success is critical. His performance here is excellent. Sometime you should try drumming to *A Day in the Life* or *Something*. Thanks again for this reaction and analysis.
An awesome album you could react to is "aurora" by daisy jones and the six! They are a "fictional" band created from a tv show (based off a book) and are HEAVILY inspired by/based off Fleetwood Mac. Epic 70's inspired music and Elvis Presley's granddaughter is actually a member!! would be amazing to see your reaction
The very last bit of gibberish was a practical joke for the listener. Some old record players did not have the automatic lift and if the needle hit the last groove on the record, they would get this odd 2 seconds loop of sound to wake them up. It would continue until the needle would be removed from the record. It never fades out. Personally, I don't like that they added it to CD's etc.. as it isn't really a song, and many people find it confusing.
Without the album Freak Out by Frank Zappa, the album Sgt P would never exist and the beatles would just be a boy band who wrote love songs and played instruments.
@@ikhsansube82 Freak Out! is the debut studio album by American rock band the Mothers of Invention, released on June 27, 1966, by Verve Records. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the eighth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. Released on 26 May 1967, Where is the 2 years difference? Now that is a baffling question.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 They were recording the Revolver album in april 1966. That album is even more experimental than sgt pepper. Listen to tomorrow never knows on that album. Everyone at that time were getting influenced and there was no single band who did it first.
That’s probably why Paul McCartney worked on an entire album with the man and said that working with Kanye is exactly like working with John Lennon. Unless you say that Paul doesn’t know music and John Lennon is not talented. In addition, Michael Jackson was obsessed with one of Kanye’s albums before his death, Elton John and Stevie Wonder have worked with him, even Prince admitted that he’s talented. :)
Your talking ruined the ending with the world’s longest piano note. They actually used 9 pianos. Actually, 7 grand pianos and two other keyboard instruments.
Lennon is said to have said this on the White Album track I'm so tired. Second, he never said that, because McCartney wasn't dead and remains in remarkable health to this day.
@@ricardocimano you been told by some PID Believer, and now you hear it (just like Peter Kay's misheard lyrics video!) Its almost 60 years and yet no one from Mccartheys family or friends has ever come forward to spill the beans no deathbed confessions and of course that's the same for Billy's family and friends why Why? That's the question I ask the PID Believers!
I have yet to see a professional drummer successfully play a Ringo drum session. Even after trashing his playing as "simple". Not to mention, Ringo plays a right handed drum kit setup, but is left handed. Try watching a few videos of professional drummers failing to play a Ringo set from start to finish.. Then run your mouth... As a matter of fact, you spew all kinds of know nothing BS..
Your ignorant opinion about Ringo's drumming is ridiculous and demonstrates that you don't know what you're talking about. This commentary is extraordinarily LAME.

Interesting and entertaining reaction. I like your approach to making reactions. For your information, you are confusing word "fair" with "circus. Like that you interject research in the middle of the reaction and your spontaneous remarks. Again, very entertaining, entertaining, and unique, not like any other reaction that I've ever heard and seen. Hope you have success.
I had assumed they were synonyms of one another. But yes a fair is something different
A day in the life was not a single release. There wasn't one from this album in the 1960s either. It wasn't until 1978, that the three tracks Sgt.Pepper, With a little help... and A day in the life were subsequently released on a single. Many fans later wished, that the Beatles had included Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever on the album, which would have made it even more unique. Joe Cocker made a legendary and very successful cover-version of "With a little help...". In my opionion the best cover of a Beatles track until today.
The album is now seen a little more critically, because it has the one or other weakness (e.g. When I'm 64), but it won numerous elections held in 1999, as the greatest pop/rock album of the century. Of course this can be discussed for a long time, but the influence of Sgt.Pepper was huge, as the album challenged all the competition, to improve in terms of production technology and versatility.
I don't think When I'm 64 is weak. It might even be the 4th or 3rd most recognisable song on it. Even in the video he said he'd felt he'd heard it before. Like Yesterday it feels simple and direct.
I Love “When I’m 64”. 😞
@@joebloggs396 I probably have to explain a little more what I mean.
When I'm 64 isn't bad music, it's more of a strategic weakness on Pepper. The musical break, placing the piece after the excursion into world music of Within you, without you, indeed has a certain fascination. But McCartney has a soft spot for grandparents' music from his parents' house. And he wrote the thing when he was 14 years old.
64, Till there was you, Honey Pie. Do I want to hear this stuff on a rock/pop record? Not necessarily. There would certainly have been alternatives like the experimental Carnival of Light, which was never published, or Strawberry Fields.
Another aspect of Pepper is, that Within you, without you and She's leaving home can actually only be described as Beatles songs to a limited extent, as far as the musical implementation is concerned, because apart from Harrison on a few Indian instruments, there is no Beatle active there.
@@braudabo The whole middle part is old timey - Mr Kite Victorian, Within You old Indian style, WI64 jazzy-pop 20s.
Strawberry Fields may have fitted as a companion piece to Lucy. But Penny Lane was too much a single style song. Eleanor Rigby could have fitted on too.
McCartney was the main force behind the LP, and by part design part serendipity it can work.
@@joebloggs396 Yes, that's right. However, the other tracks with "old timey" elements sound more exotic, exciting and interesting, than the somewhat musty rocking chair-esque When I'm 64.
By the way, there is a very nice cover of When I'm 64 by the Austrian Beatles fanatics, the MonaLisa Twins. Also a kind of gem: their cover of Maxwell's Silver Hammer.
A Bjork album please
thought about it. do I just start at the beginning?
@@tamerailyes
@@tamerailomg yes, she is an icon tbh, she goes like for the alternative music but her 2 firsts albums are jazz and house inspired, debut which is her debut album lol, it's an amazing choice, as well, medulla, vespertine were very acclaimed for the critics. Homogenic is the most famous one, it changed music history kinda
Great reaction. Some factual errors, understandably. One or two musical errors that only a musician experienced with that instrument would know. I guess if enough people say Ringo is not a great drummer, many will believe it. I think he is one of the GOATs. His contribution to the band's initial success is critical. His performance here is excellent. Sometime you should try drumming to *A Day in the Life* or *Something*. Thanks again for this reaction and analysis.
A day in the life is a masterpiece
That's a harpsichord. Kinda like an early piano.
Looking forward to Abbey Road reaction - uninterrupted please! Best Album ever, followed by Revolver❤
An awesome album you could react to is "aurora" by daisy jones and the six! They are a "fictional" band created from a tv show (based off a book) and are HEAVILY inspired by/based off Fleetwood Mac. Epic 70's inspired music and Elvis Presley's granddaughter is actually a member!! would be amazing to see your reaction
Rubber Soul is a good early Beatles album.
For a fun songs
Jim Croce/Working in the Car Wash Blues
The very last bit of gibberish was a practical joke for the listener. Some old record players did not have the automatic lift and if the needle hit the last groove on the record, they would get this odd 2 seconds loop of sound to wake them up. It would continue until the needle would be removed from the record. It never fades out. Personally, I don't like that they added it to CD's etc.. as it isn't really a song, and many people find it confusing.
Sheryl Crow/All I Want to do is have Fun
Sgt. Pepper is a second tier Beatles album
Does anyone else hear "see the Beatle" and "silly Beatle" in the refrain?
Jim Croce/Roller Derby Queen
Wrong about Ringo but that's somewhat a matter of taste. Wrong about Yoko and that's a matter of fact.
I know they sang i wanna hold your hand in german, i couldn't hear guten morgan

Without the album Freak Out by Frank Zappa, the album Sgt P would never exist and the beatles would just be a boy band who wrote love songs and played instruments.
The Beatles had already leaving that image two years before Sgt. Peppers. That's before Freak Out even released.
@@ikhsansube82 Freak Out! is the debut studio album by American rock band the Mothers of Invention, released on June 27, 1966, by Verve Records.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the eighth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. Released on 26 May 1967,
Where is the 2 years difference? Now that is a baffling question.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 They were recording the Revolver album in april 1966. That album is even more experimental than sgt pepper. Listen to tomorrow never knows on that album. Everyone at that time were getting influenced and there was no single band who did it first.
where in my comment did I state there was a 2 year difference?
@@JulianCBlancas2 and all of your comment has what to do with my comment?

Kanye doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as the Beatles.
That’s probably why Paul McCartney worked on an entire album with the man and said that working with Kanye is exactly like working with John Lennon. Unless you say that Paul doesn’t know music and John Lennon is not talented.
In addition, Michael Jackson was obsessed with one of Kanye’s albums before his death, Elton John and Stevie Wonder have worked with him, even Prince admitted that he’s talented. :)
That's not Charlie Chaplin.
Don't stop and analyze... just listen. You're missing it.
Your talking ruined the ending with the world’s longest piano note. They actually used 9 pianos. Actually, 7 grand pianos and two other keyboard instruments.
Do you know who George Martin is
"Unusual For the Beatles"?...you barely know their work and now you are an expert!!!
"poster"
We gonna get TPAB ever??
pleaseeee 🙏🙏
soonr
You're german, no? You should know about the Harpsichord!😅
Listen closely to the last sounds of the album: "Paul is dead, man. I miss him".
Lennon is said to have said this on the White Album track I'm so tired. Second, he never said that, because McCartney wasn't dead and remains in remarkable health to this day.
@@braudabo ok, but I can hear that.
@@ricardocimano you been told by some PID Believer, and now you hear it (just like Peter Kay's misheard lyrics video!) Its almost 60 years and yet no one from Mccartheys family or friends has ever come forward to spill the beans no deathbed confessions and of course that's the same for Billy's family and friends why Why? That's the question I ask the PID Believers!
@@beatlebrian4404 lol I didnt say I believe James Paul McCartney is dead. I said I can hear John say it in the final sounds of the track.
@@ricardocima well you must really get your ears checked out mate!
Don’t agree with you at all about similarities between Kanye and The Beatles or Paul McCartney or Beethoven. Sorry no can-do..lol
Lovely Rita should have been given to another singer, it's atrocious!
because you can't play drums
George played the sitar.
I have yet to see a professional drummer successfully play a Ringo drum session. Even after trashing his playing as "simple". Not to mention, Ringo plays a right handed drum kit setup, but is left handed. Try watching a few videos of professional drummers failing to play a Ringo set from start to finish.. Then run your mouth... As a matter of fact, you spew all kinds of know nothing BS..
You think about Disney during When I'm 64 because of your limited experience.
Your ignorant opinion about Ringo's drumming is ridiculous and demonstrates that you don't know what you're talking about. This commentary is extraordinarily LAME.
Another "Ringo sucks" guy when hes off line. I guess you have to overplay to get attention.
Why can't great creativity not be about drugs?
You talk too much!!!
Your right Tony he should have been doing a reaction to the coasters song yakety yak
